In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

Anyway, he just didn't believe that the Lin family only had that little silver, and he was unwilling to go and look for it himself, wanting Old Man Lin to take it out himself.

He was not afraid that Mr. Lin would fool him, as the villagers were crowded at the door watching, and the uncles standing behind him were also no bluffs.

If Mr. Lin doesn't handle it properly, he will be embarrassed and the family division will not be able to continue.

When the Zhang brothers heard their brother-in-law's words, they took a step forward in cooperation.

The villagers who were watching saw their protest-like actions and started talking about it.

When dividing the family, inviting the maternal uncle is mostly just a formality. It is rare for someone to be as threatening as the Zhang brothers. After all, it is just a division of the family, not a complete cessation of contact.

Does Lin Anxiang's attitude of not stopping them mean that he is going to sever ties with Mr. Lin?

Mrs. Lin raised her eyelids and looked directly into her second son's eyes: "Oh? Then how much money do you think the family should have?"

Lin Anxiang frowned. How could he say this? If he said it was less, would it be considered the amount he said? Then he would be the one who suffered the loss in the end.

"Come on, why don't you say anything?" Old Madam Lin pointed at him and pressed on: "Why? You were talking loudly to your father, and you refused to say a word when your mother asked you."

One by one, he has become so arrogant that he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Only his wife thinks these children are good in every way and wants to stay with them and not separate the family.

You see, it was just a little late in dividing the family property, and his eldest son had already pissed him off so many times, and he wasn't afraid that if he got angry a couple more times he'd end up in the coffin early.

"How would I know exactly how much silver there is? Anyway, it can't be as little as six strings of silver."

Lin Anxiang dodged his mother's fingers and shamelessly avoided giving a direct answer.

"Tsk~"

Old Mrs. Lin curled her lips in disdain.

"Six strings of cash is too little? I thought six strings of cash was too much!"

Lin Anxiang curled the corner of his mouth, looking like he didn't believe you.

Even Lin Anji showed a look of disbelief, only Lin Anru remained the same.

"You don't believe it? Then tell me, how does the entire Lin family save so much money every year?"

Old Mrs. Lin walked back to her chair, leaned back and closed her eyes.

Lin Anxiang didn't want to follow Old Lady Lin's ideas, so he refused to cooperate and turned his head away. His meaning was very clear: no matter what you say, I just don't believe that my family is so poor.

Lin Anji was trying hard to recall the sources of income for his family over the years. In addition to the harvest from the fields, the money he earned from eggs every year, and the money he earned from selling the piglets his third brother's wife bought for them to raise.

He was confused: If the family had no other source of income, had he wrongly blamed his parents? Had he done something wrong?

They didn't speak, and the lobby was so quiet except for the sound of breathing that it made people feel a little uneasy.

Old Madam Lin opened her eyes, which had been closed. She glanced at her three sons with her calm eyes before speaking:

"Since you can't think of it, let me tell you. If not, you can always bring it up, so that you don't keep it in your heart and make your heart stink."

Her words had a hidden meaning, and as for who feels uncomfortable, that's up to them.

"First, it's the harvest from the fields. Every time we harvest grain, after paying taxes and keeping it for seeds, the rest is not even enough for our family to eat. Is there any objection to this?"

The three Lin brothers all nodded.

Not only them, but also the villagers who were watching were the same. Everyone could see the harvest and population of each family in the village, and then they could roughly know the situation of each family by making an estimate.

"The second is the piglets that the third daughter-in-law buys every year. The family can earn about 800 coins a year. Everyone knows this." Mrs. Lin continued.

Liu used her dowry to buy the pigs, and gave the purchased piglets to other members of the Lin family to raise. In the end, the money from the sales was divided equally between the two parties.

A pig raised from the beginning of the year to the end of the year only sold for two thousand coins.

The reason why Old Mrs. Lin said it was eight hundred coins was because the pigs had always been raised by her daughter, and she would give her two hundred coins every year to save for her dowry.

Everyone in the Lin family knew about this, but the other people in the village didn't know. They all envied them for being able to raise pigs, and they believed their lives must be good.

But when they heard Mrs. Lin say that a pig only earned 800 coins a year, they all felt that something was wrong.

They have never raised pigs, but others have!

Is this old lady trying to fool her sons with the small amount of silver she mentioned?

But when they saw that her sons seemed to think there was nothing wrong with the money from selling the pig, they became confused.

I really want to ask for clarification, but they are splitting up the family business now and it’s not appropriate to ask, so I have to keep it to myself.

Old Mrs. Lin didn't want to pay attention to the villagers' doubts. She continued to list:

"Finally, there are the three hens I raise at home. The silver I get from their eggs, after deducting the money I spend on food, drink and gifts, can probably be exchanged for about a hundred coins!"

Three hens lay about a thousand eggs a day, but hens don't lay eggs 365 days a year.

So three hens can lay six to seven hundred eggs a year. The family eats about ten eggs every month, and the rest are used for social interactions and are finally sold for money.

If a daughter-in-law gives birth and is in confinement after childbirth, 20 or 30 eggs will be missing. The eggs that can be sold are saved.

Hearing that the money from selling eggs was so little, the eldest and second sons of the Lin family frowned. When they estimated in their minds, they found that what Mrs. Lin said was not a lie.

"Finally, the money you earn from doing odd jobs is less than 500 coins a year." Mrs. Lin paused for a moment to let them digest it, and continued, "This is all the income of our entire Lin family. You can calculate how much you have."

"The annual income should be at least 1,500 wen. How come it's only been 6 wen for so many years?" Lin Anxiang questioned.

"You only see the income. Why don't you calculate the annual expenses?" Old Mrs. Lin said unhappily.

"Don't you need money to buy food and oil at home?"

"And what you're wearing are things you picked up on the street, and you didn't even have to spend money on them?"

"Every New Year, the gifts you bring to Yue's house are like falling from the sky. They don't cost money, right?"

……

The more Mrs. Lin thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the louder her voice became. The louder she became, the more excited she became, and the more ferocious her expression became. The younger members of the Lin family were so frightened looking at her that they almost forgot to breathe.

Old Mrs. Lin, who was tired of talking, felt the way everyone was looking at her and couldn't help but calm down a little.

Lin Lao Er was so shocked that he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

He was stunned for a moment, and Zhang beside him pulled his sleeve. Then he saw his wife pointing at Lin Anru, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Mother, it's not that you said your son doesn't believe it, I just don't know how to believe it!" He kept it a secret, and when Mrs. Lin looked at him straight in the eye, he continued, "If the family is really that poor, what do you say about the dozen strings of cash that the third son took to take the exam?"
